Through a 2006 Request for Applications, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency's (USEPA's) Great Lakes National Program Office
(GLNPO) and Region 2 are requesting grant applications for the
following projects:
- An estimated amount of up to $500,000 over 5 years has been targeted
for one project addressing Eighteenmile Creek Remedial Action Plan
(RAP) Priorities.
- An estimated amount of $335,000 is targeted for approximately 1-3
projects for Lakewide Management Plan (LaMP) Public Forum Coordination
for Lakes Erie, Michigan, and Superior.

The Request for Application is available today from:
http://epa.gov/glnpo/fund/2006-1rfa01.html
Submissions must be received by EPA or electronically through
Grants.Gov by 8:00 am CST on June 29, 2006. Please note that this is a
Request for Applications, and not just proposals. Full grant
application packages must be received by the due date and time.

GLNPO proposes to issue its annual Funding Guidance (soliciting
proposals
in a broader range of topics
) later this month. To be added to our mailing list which
announces and provides information about our funding opportunities, we
